i wouldnt expect you to understand, the board needs more snippy, but lets put it in something you can understand. Your season is over, i dont care what you think, ponder, have stats on, NOR what past memories you have, we arent winning the SB, we arent in the hunt and we are probably not even considering the playoffs, unless the other teams force us into it, which i doubt. So what does signing Lemon offer you INSTEAD of putting the effort into a player that is worth it OR dare i say, saving the money for other issues.

Is Lemon going to give us that boost into the playoffs, No,

Is he the piece missing from this glorified SB run we are on? No

Is he going to be the future worht investing in? No


So what is the point to signing him and putting effort into a player we already know about who doesnt play in our scheme?

Brilliant...they should just throw in the towel. That's how champions are made!

The point is the Cowboys needed an extra body and thought the best one out there for now was Lemon.

They did work out other linebackers, but obviously didn't think any of them was a better signing at this time. It doesn't mean Lemon should buy a house in Dallas, because he'll more than likely be cut just like Micah Pellerin when an injured player at his position is ready to return.

Dallas has churned the roster looking for those type of guys you want, but the Cowboys also have had to just grab whatever body's available at times to make sure they have enough players at a position for the next game.

id try an undrafted, id try looking at all the PS around the league and finding that guy who hasnt had a chance yet, id offer to give someoen a chance who hasnt gotten one. The season is done, JJ has packed in it, okay thats fine, now lets worry about the offseason and next year and if you can , try to find something new, churn the stones and find something. Why does it have to be a retread? The years over, you lost, suck it up, go back to the drawing board, if the guy doesnt pan out, you didnt lose anything, but at least you gave someone a chance, someone who might have a higher ceiling or passion or something, but lords, another retread, wow are we goign to find something or Lemon we ddint see before? Most likely not, so give someoen who might be better suited for the scheme or give someone a shot.

Dude, despite Opie's pure incompetence, we are still tied for first place in the division. Yea, its a crap division but if we win the division we get a home playoff game and you never know what can happen.

The season is not over unless we get curb stomped by New York..............then it is safe to say its over..............but wait till Sunday night to make this announcement.

I'm surprised he'd want to come back to a team that's tight and micromanaged!

Of course, the better payday trumps all that.

explain to me what you are tryig to improve, are you trying from going from 8-8 to 9-7, not really an improvement.

My statement is Lemon is not going to be the cataclist to get us to the next level, WHY not try someone else?

Your job is to get into the post season and win a Super Bowl. Yes, the realist in you believes that's a longshot and a pipe dream. I get it. But these guys are professional. They can't have that same attitude. They have to believe that they can go on a run and win a Super Bowl. That's a GM's job. Now i'm not saying Orie Lemon is "CHAMPIONSHIP!". I'm just saying you can't just stand pat. You have to put in some effort. This team has done that all year. 18 different defensive linemen for me is unheard of and I can't recall the last time i've ever seen that. You just simply never know. Team's go on runs. For some teams it clicks toward the end of the season. You can't just concede though is all i'm saying.
